Cops already function as defacto surveillance machines. The bodycam doesn't capture any more than the cop does with his/her own eyes and the cop has the authority to act based on that alone, the bodycam is at least an impartial representation of the cop's (or citizen's) allegations.
- Coincoin 11y agoYeah, a cop is like a body cam that can lie, has imperfect memory and if used in court can only testify against you. However, the problem with technology is the scale. You can't systematically collect everything a cop sees in a database; with a camera, you can.
